WINNIPEG -- Peter Campbell of Baddeck, N.S., birdied five straight holes on his back nine to tie Carlos Sainz, Jr. at 7-under 65 on Thursday to share the lead after the opening round of The Players Cup. "Today, all the putts dropped, and thats what yields good scores," said Sainz, Jr., who shot a bogey-free round. Both players have struggled so far on PGA TOUR Canadas inaugural season. Each made their first cuts in three tries this year in Fort McMurray, Alta., last week, with Sainz, Jr. finishing a tie for 25th, and Campbell tying for 44th. Campbell, the only PGA TOUR Canada player from Nova Scotia, said a mostly solid final round last week - he was 6-under until a triple bogey on the 17th on Sunday - gave him confidence heading into this week. "I started off a little rough this year, but playing well last week really gave me some momentum coming into today," said Campbell, whose 65 was his lowest career round on PGA TOUR Canada South Africas Doug McGuigan briefly joined the party at 7-under, but bogeyed the difficult par-3 ninth to finish alone in third at 66.

Off-Season Game Plan looks at what the Isles can do going forward to maintain their place as a playoff team for years to come. Building a team on a budget hasnt been easy for the Islanders, so credit is due to GM Garth Snow, who has made a habit out of salvaging players off the scrap heap and turning them into viable NHLers. Just off this past seasons roster: LW Matt Moulson was a 25-year-old with 29 career NHL games when signed as a free agent; RW Brad Boyes, 31, signed for $1-million after a career-low 23 points in Buffalo; RW Colin McDonald was a 27-year-old with seven NHL games in his career when signed as a free agent; C Keith Aucoin was a 34-year-old with 102 career NHL games when signed as a free agent; RW Michael Grabner, D Thomas Hickey, D Brian Strait and G Evgeni Nabokov were waiver pickups. Thats eight players that played regular roles, some very significant, that were there for the taking for any franchise, yet Snow cobbled together a roster with those players and some strong draft picks. The cornerstone of the franchise is C John Tavares, the first overall pick from 2009, who has 128 points in 130 games over the past two seasons, a total which ranks sixth in the league over that span. The talent that surrounds Tavares allowed the Islanders to generate 30.9 shots on goal per game (ranking sixth in the league) and their shot differential of +2.70 per game was tied for eighth; its that aggressive offensive approach that helped the Isles not only make the playoffs, but push the top-seeded Pittsburgh Penguins to overtime of Game Six before falling. There are going to be issues for Snow to face this summer, however. There are always free agents to replace and veteran defenceman Mark Streit has been traded to Philadephia before hitting free agency, so that leaves a hole, but the Islanders have accumulated the kind of organizational depth that actually puts them in an enviable position going forward, the kind of position that allows Snow to be optimistic for once. "I dont think there will be too many changes," Snow told Newsday. "We want to continue down the road we started. Were just as excited about the prospects we have as the team that played this season. Weve had some really good drafts and we have a prospect pool we like, not just some of the players at Bridgeport. It bodes well for the future." Any general manager can put positive spin on his teams future but, in this case, Snows right: the future is definitely looking brighter for the Islanders. The TSN.ca Rating is an efficiency rating based on per-game statistics including goals and assists -- weighted for strength (ie. power play, even, shorthanded) -- plus-minus, hits, blocked shots, giveaways, takeaways, penalty differential and faceoffs. (Stats are listed in this format: G-A-PTS, +/-, PIM, GP). Generally, a replacement-level player is around a 60, a top six forward and top four defenceman will be 70-plus, stars will be over 80 and MVP candidates could go over 90.

Theres no complaining about point-per-game production, but it does seem narrative-driven to suggest his numbers were MVP-worthy and he is a Hart Trophy finalist. All that aside, his 0.86 points per game through his first four seasons ranks 15th since 2000 for players in their first four years, leaving Tavares in very good company as a first-rate point producer and his prime producti
